Just like in 5E, old school players should WANT to seek out powerful enemies with potent abilities to prove their worth. Fighting bandits too often means you get chump change XP for your tabletime.

Numbers multiplier matters more if there isn't terrain so players can reduce frontage or funnel foes. In a white room it can be an issue.

Round pegs and square holes can be an issue. Ogre hits hard enough were it really won't be a good for for CR 1 since he's likely to live long enough to SPLAT. Also at the lower levels ever point to hit matters more, even though it's 2/1 in the monster rules. Notice how several monsters at cr 1/4...

I'd rule the sprite has limited number of sleep arrows, with downtime needed to replenish them. I'd be inclined to be generous but there would definitely be limits.

If you have walls and trees, you don't need anything else. This is about the elf disappearing in low light.

Just curious about this one. Do Push effects work on ( thus dismount ) riders? Mount rules are kinda light and was wondering on other folk's opinions. Edit: The Basic rules and PHB account for the mount being pushed and proned, and the rider being proned, yet the rider getting pushed was a...

Unless the target has armor already capping it's dex, the victim's reduced dex balances out the -2 to hit from being grappled.

And man some areas are just a cluster-f, the Orc's area from A1's sewers, especially the non tourney sections are wall to wall orcs in spots and i'm not sure if the Stables (7a) in A2 have enough room for the stable hands, let alone the wagons after the baker's dozen horses and half a dozen...

Been running A1 in 5E. I must say I was disappointed with the ghoul's performance for their CR, but paralyzing foes generally are generally all or nothing. Swapped the giant Sundew for a cluster of semi intelligent mimics acting as gatekeepers for their area, which made for a delightfully brutal...

How important is A4 to the rest of the modules? If running the modules as part of a campaign, would it be feasible to keep A4 as a reserve IF the party gets defeated?

Thank goodness, Half-orcs, Gensai, Mini-taurs, Dragonborn and Tieflings are enough of a freakshow already.

The minotaur gets some SOLID combat applicable tricks to make up for that. Horns as a bonus attack when dashing and having a Push type shove as a bonus action all other times, with advantage on all shoves.

No less than an epic boon should get another attunement slot.

1000 X THIS!

I'd agree with your DM on the necro, If a character is described as going out like he does, not much is going to be left on the guy. Most casters you'll face won't have spellbooks as that's a wizard thing and wizards tend to be intelligent and not throw themselves into combat. Clerics...

Unless you plan on conspicuously custom loot, limiting players further on weapon choices makes players start expecting magic items tailored for them rather than just being grateful to find a magic weapon. It is a similar problem with Feats, Player focuses on X weapon or weapon style and then...

pogre For someone with Hirst molds, you do seem to be going overboard.

If you are running an old module, the Comic map walkthroughs WOTC has commissioned from Jason Thompson can be used for this purpose. http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/images/map_a1walkthrough.jpg http://archive.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/toon/A1

Yeah. Can you image how the 3E gamers would have reacted if the 5E concentration mechanic had been implemented in 3.5.
